All of us have limited time to invest in our careers and the challenges to lead an organization. NASPA has always given me the most return for my participation. You are missing a great reward if you do not actively participate in NASPA.

I classify NASPA as an association manager career extender. Longevity in this industry is painfully short and is challenged even more by the diversity within our profession. NASPA is the pharmacy association manager's "tool kit for success".

As I look to how I can best lead our state association, NASPA and its members provide the invaluable experience and resources to fully support my efforts. It is a close-knit network of committed individuals working tirelessly to help support and advance pharmacy practice at a state and national level.

NASPA is an excellent organization that provides state pharmacy associations a mechanism to network and learn from each other. The voice they provide for us on a national level is invaluable in representing the interests of our members.

I love NASPA because it makes my job easier. NASPA staff understand the challenges of running a state pharmacy association and offer great networking opportunities and education to help me be successful.
NASPA connects me with other state pharmacy associations. I have received so much support from my peers about the operations of an association as well as how to handle tough issues.

I’ve experienced NASPA both as a state association exec and now as an affiliate that partners with them frequently on pharmacy compounding issues, and I just can’t say enough good things about the professionalism of the NASPA team, their openness to collaboration, and their passion for helping state pharmacy associations accomplish the important work they do for pharmacists and patients.

Being a NASPA member helps me to envision the future of pharmacy by interacting with state, national and even international leaders in the profession. This contact allows me to help pharmacists in Kansas ready themselves for inevitable changes in the way they practice pharmacy.

I credit NASPA with keeping my job over 30 years. The sharing of all ideas, from enhancing revenue to new services for members, have been critical to what success we’ve had. My dues have come back to benefit our association many times over.
